Objective To synthesize 628F-Py-AMD3465,to investigate its biodistribution in mice and to perform the microPET/CT imaging on mice bearing human lung cancer cell (A549).Methods AMD3465 quaternary ammonium salt precursor was directly labeled with 18F,then 628F-Py-AMD3465 was synthesized through nucleophilic reaction,hydrolysis,neutralization and the product was purified using HPLC.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity were analyzed by HPLC.Fifteen Kunming mice were injected with 5.55 MBq of 628F-Py-AMD3465 and sacrificed at 5,20,40,60 and 120 min postinjection.The selected tissues were harvested and weighed,and the radioactivity in the tissues was measured by an automated γ-spectrometer.The ％ID/g was calculated.MicroPET/CT studies were performed on A549-bearing mice after injecting 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 through vena caudal.Paired t test was used.Results 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 was successfully synthesized with the labeling yield of (9.0±2.0)％,the total synthesis time was about 60 min,and the radiochemical purity was more than 98％.Biodistribution studies showed that the radiouptake was higher in the kidneys and bladder of normal mice,which demonstrated that 6-18 F-Py-AMD3465 was mainly excreted through the kidneys.Biodistribution in A549-bearing mice was similar to that in normal mice.The tumor/muscle ratio at 40 min was 5.0,but the radiouptake of the tumor was still lower than that of the normal lung:(8.05±0.35) ％ID/g vs (9.33±0.66) ％ID/g;t=5.26,P＜0.05.MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the high-uptake location of 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 in tumor-bearing mice was similar to the normal mice,and the tumor uptake reached the maximum level at 45 min post-injection (SUV 0.67).Conclusions 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 can be synthesized by a simple method.A lower uptake could be shown in the tumor compared to that in the lung and the tracer has limited diagnostic value for lung cancer.

AIM: To investigate the effect of berberine (Ber) on Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-induced human gastric epithelial cells (GES-1) injury and the underlying mechanism .METHODS: Berberine (5, 10 and 20 μmol/L) and PD98059 (20 μmol/L), a selective inhibitor of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK)1/2 signaling pathway, were added to Hp-infected GES-1 cells.The cell activity and apoptosis, the levels of interleukin (IL)-1βand IL-8, lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) activity and the protein levels of Bax , Bcl-2 and p-ERK1/2 in the GES-1 cells were determined by MTT assay, flow cytometry, ELISA, colorimetry and Western blot, respectively.RESULTS: Compared with control group, Hp significantly inhibited the cell activity , increased the apoptotic rate , LDH activity, IL-1βand IL-8 levels, the Bax and p-ERK1/2 protein levels but decreased the Bcl-2 protein level in GES-1 cells (P<0.05).However, these effects of Hp were reversed by berberine at medium-dose and high-dose, as compared with the Hp-infected GES-1 cells ( P<0.05).Moreover, the protective effects of berberine were significantly enhanced by the co-incubation of berberine with PD98059, as compared with the berberine at higher dose (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Berberine may attenuate Hp-in-duced human gastric epithelial GES-1 cells injury by anti-inflammation, promoting cell growth and anti-apoptosis via the in-hibition of ERK1/2 signaling pathway .

Objective To establish the HepG2 cell lines which can stably express and replicate hepatitis 13 virus (HBV).Methods One point two X unit length of HBV genome was cloned intn SalⅠsite of the eukaryotic expression vector pREP10 to construct the recombinant plasmid pREP-HBV. Human hepatoblastoma cell HepG2 was transfected with pREP-HBV by Lipofectamine 2000 and seh,cted by bygromycin at the concentration of 250?g/mL.HBsAg and HBeAg were monitored by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)kits.H13V particles presemed in supernatant were ex- amincd by electronic microscopy.DNA isolated from intracellular HBV core particles was analyzed by Southbern blot using HBV-specific probe.Results The recombinant vector pREP HBV containing 1.2?unit length of HBV DNA was constructed successfully.After transfection of pREP-HBV to HepG2 cells and consistently cultured in hygromycin selective medium.5 drug-resistant cell lines, RHBV1-RHBV5.were established,and all of them could stably express HBsAgand HBeAg.South ern blot analysis revealed that HBV could replicate in all cell lines,as confirmed by the presence of replicateintermediatc DNA in intracellular HBV core particles.Clustered 42 nm Dane particles as well as 22-26 nm spherical H13sAg particles in condensed cuhure supernatant were visualized by elec tronic microsopic analysis.Conclusion HepG2 ceil lines in which HBV can replicate and express specific antigens are successfully established.Up to now,the cells have been passaged every three days for 50 times.

Objective To analyze the risk of re-emergence of Oncomelania snail(O.snail) from 2015 to 2019, in order to improve the effectiveness of snail control. Methods Collection of report forms and schistosomiasis surveillance data was carried out from 2015 to 2019, and analyzed retrospectively. Results The area of snail-emergence was 6 241.98 hm² during 2015-2019, 44.29、4 610.18、813.92、446.09 and 327.50 hm² respectively, for each corresponding year.Among the re-emergence areas, flat-ground subtype was 1 185.49 hm²(18.99%), hilly subtype was 2 536.58 hm²(40.64%), and mountain subtype was 2 519.91 hm²(40.37%).The top 5 cities with O.snail re-emergence areas were Liangshanzhou(2016), Ya′an(2016), Deyang(2016), Meishan(2016), and Meishan(2017).The top 5 disticts with O.snail re-emergence areas were Renshou, Puge, Lushan, Tianquan and Dechang. Conclusion The re-emergence of O.snail attributes to several factors, such as low quality of annual snail survey, unitary method of elimination and complexity of snail habit environment.Surveillance and supervision on the sources of infection and snail spreading should continue with exploration of new method in eliminating snails especially in hilly regions.

·Diabetic Retinopathy ( DR ) has gradually worsening and lingering, which is the leading cause of global young people blindness. With the progression of the disease, patients with diabetes mellitus ( DM) will have different degrees of DR. If you can not prevent and give acute early intervention, once the visual acuity decreased significantly, DR would be difficult to reverse. DR progressively has worsening, the treatment status has no optimistic. Therefore, DR in the early prevention and treatment will be indispensable. This article summarizes some of the early warning of the occurrence and development of biological markers and characteristic indicators in order to provide a basis for the early prevention of DR.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility and reliability on the quantitative evaluation of Colles' fracture by multislice CT (MSCT) multiplanner reconstruction (MPR).

METHODSA total of 36 patients with Colles' fracture from July 2011 to July 2014 were investigated in this study. There were 11 males and 25 females with a mean age of (42.5 ± 5.4) years old (ranged 35 to 72 years). All the patients underwent anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films and MSCT scans on wrist joints within 2 days after trauma. Images were sent to the workstation through picture archiving and conserving system (PACS). One associate chief physician independently and respectively measured the dorsal intercalation depth of distal fracture block, palmar angle and dislocation degree of wrist articular surface collapse on anteroposterior and lateral X-ray film and MSCT-MPR. The time interval between the two measurements was 2 weeks. All the data between the first and second measurement on X-ray and MPR and the mean value between the X-ray and MPR was examined with paired t-test. The pearson analyzed their correlation.

RESULTSAmong the 35 cases, 35 cases of palmar angle, 21 cases of intercalation depth and 16 cases of dislocation of wrist articular surface collapse could be measured on both X-ray and MPR. For the above parameters, the first measurement results were (12.5 ± 3.6)°, (4.5 ± 2.1) mm, (3.7 ± 1.6) mm and the second measurement results were (4.8 ± 2.2)°, (6.4 ± 3.6) mm, (2.5 ± 1.2) mm on X-ray films respectively. The first measurement results on MPR were (14.5 ± 5.3)°, (4.2 ± 1.2) mm, (5.7 ± 2.3) mm, and the results were (13.2 ± 2.6)°, (4.7 ± 2.2) mm, (4.6 ± 2.1) mm for the second measurement respectively. The three parameters between the first and second measurement on plain film had statistical difference and low correlation (r = 0.681, 0.640, 0.345, P < 0.05). The data between the first and second measurement on MPR showed that the dislocation degree of wrist articular surface collapse had statistical difference (P < 0.05) and no statistical significance was found for the other two parameters (P > 0.05), with the moderate correlation (r = 0.954, 0.854, 0.642). The three parameters had low or moderate correlation with each other on X-ray (r = 0.454, 0.532, 0.378, P < 0.05), compared with the mean value on MPR.

CONCLUSIONUsing MSCT MPR images may carry on the multiple parameter measurement of Colles fracture, to make quantitative evaluation, and repeated measurement is better reliability.
